Downtown Boca

August 7, 2007|Sarah Bialy, Boca Raton

Regarding the redevelopment of downtown Boca, my feeling is that if we can't afford it, don't do it.

Consulting with the very developers who would most benefit from such projects is just poor judgment. Why not improve upon what we already have, and paid dearly for, such as Mizner Park? Maintain fine restaurants and upgrade shops - at their expense. Bring another department store to downtown, so we don't all have to go elsewhere.

As for Royal Palm Plaza, which used to be the coveted "Pink Plaza," how about a concert hall, or a dinner theater to replace the one that was so successful for many years? Put in a fantastic Museum of Science and Technology. Do not raise taxes for projects we cannot really afford.
